When it comes to creating unforgettable events, the entertainment you choose makes all the difference. At Viva Vegas, we’ve seen first-hand how the right interactive experience can elevate a party from good to extraordinary. That’s why fun casino hire has become one of our most popular services across London and the South East. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a corporate event, a charity fundraiser or even a milestone birthday party, hiring a fun casino is an excellent way to keep guests engaged, entertained and talking about your event long after the final hand has been played.
The Magic of a Fun Casino
There’s something undeniably exciting about the glitz and glamour of a casino. The sound of the roulette wheel spinning, the shuffle of cards, and the cheers around the blackjack table all create an electric atmosphere that’s hard to match. But unlike a traditional casino, a fun casino is all about entertainment, not gambling. At Viva Vegas, our fun casinos are strictly cash-free, which means guests play with fun money or personalised chips. It’s all the thrill of a casino night without any of the risk—making it ideal for every kind of event and every type of guest, no matter their level of experience.
People are often surprised at just how inclusive fun casino hire really is. You don’t need to know the rules of blackjack or be a poker pro to get involved. Our friendly, professional croupiers are always happy to explain how the games work and guide beginners through their first few rounds. That means everyone from your work colleagues to your grandparents can join in and have a brilliant time.
A Sophisticated Touch for Any Event
Adding a fun casino to your event instantly elevates the mood and gives it that extra bit of sparkle. It’s a sophisticated form of entertainment that feels both stylish and exciting. Whether you’re holding your event in a luxury hotel ballroom, a marquee in your garden, or a unique London venue, casino tables bring a high-end look and feel to the space. Our tables are immaculately presented and come complete with all the classic details—from the green baize and authentic chips to professional signage and Vegas-style lighting if you want to go all-out.
From a styling perspective, a fun casino works brilliantly with a wide range of themes. We’ve provided tables for James Bond nights, 1920s Gatsby parties, Las Vegas-style events, Monte Carlo evenings and black-tie galas. But you don’t need a specific theme to make it work. A fun casino setup looks great even as a standalone feature, creating a central entertainment zone that naturally draws people in.
Entertainment That Brings People Together
One of the biggest reasons our clients choose fun casino hire is because it brings people together in a relaxed and lively way. Casino tables naturally encourage socialising, even among guests who haven’t met before. There’s something about standing around a roulette wheel, chatting between bets, or cheering on someone else’s lucky hand that helps break the ice and spark conversation.
At corporate events, that’s particularly valuable. Whether you’re planning a staff party, a product launch or a client networking evening, you want your guests to mix, connect and enjoy themselves. A fun casino creates exactly that kind of environment. It offers an alternative to dancing or drinking, meaning your guests have more options for how they spend the evening. And because it’s informal but still feels exciting, it appeals to a wide range of personalities.
At weddings, casino tables are also a fantastic way to entertain guests during the transition moments—like between the wedding breakfast and evening reception or while the room is being turned around. They add energy to the evening and give guests of all ages something to enjoy.
No Risk, All Reward
A common question we get asked is whether people actually gamble real money at fun casinos—and the answer is no. All our games are played using fun money, which we can personalise with your name, event date, company branding or even photos. This gives guests a stack of chips or notes to use for the evening, with no actual money changing hands at any point.
Because there’s no real betting involved, everyone can enjoy the games pressure-free. It also means fun casinos are suitable for a wider range of venues, including those that don’t hold gaming licences, and for all types of guests regardless of age or attitude toward gambling. We’ve even run casino tables at dry hire venues and alcohol-free events where traditional betting would never be appropriate.
To make things even more exciting, we often run mini-competitions during the night, awarding prizes to the guest with the highest chip total at the end of the evening. These can be small token gifts, bottles of bubbly or event-themed prizes. It adds a layer of friendly competition that guests absolutely love.
Seamless Setup and Professional Presentation
At Viva Vegas, we pride ourselves on making the whole process of fun casino hire completely seamless for our clients. From the moment you enquire, we’ll help you choose the right selection of games based on your event size, theme and guest profile. The most popular games are roulette, blackjack and poker, but we also offer games like craps, wheel of fortune, and even themed tables like Caribbean stud poker or casino war.
On the day, we’ll arrive in plenty of time to set up, liaise with your venue, and make sure everything runs smoothly. Our tables are always staffed by experienced, well-presented croupiers who not only know the games inside out but also know how to engage with guests and keep the energy high. Whether you want a high-end, luxury casino experience or something more relaxed and fun, we’ll match the tone of your event perfectly.
And if you’re going big with your theme, we can even provide additional extras like casino signage, prop money, red carpets, and themed backdrops to complete the look.
A Flexible Entertainment Option
One of the reasons fun casino hire is so popular is because it’s incredibly flexible. You don’t need a huge venue or hundreds of guests to make it work. We’ve provided single-table hires for intimate birthday parties and private dinners, and we’ve also run full-scale casino nights with six to ten tables for large-scale corporate galas and fundraisers. We can scale up or down to match your event without compromising on quality.
You also don’t need to stick to evening events. Daytime functions like conferences, trade shows, and product demos can all benefit from the excitement of a fun casino. It gives attendees something unique to enjoy during break times or networking sessions and leaves a lasting impression. We can even incorporate your branding into the tables, chips and signage to ensure everything ties together beautifully.
Boosting Fundraising Events
If you’re planning a charity event, fun casino hire can be a brilliant way to raise funds while entertaining your guests. Instead of guests gambling for real money, you can offer them the chance to make a donation in exchange for fun money. This creates a win-win situation: guests get to enjoy all the excitement of the casino while supporting your cause at the same time.
We’ve worked with countless charities and fundraising committees across London and the South East, helping them host memorable and effective events. Whether you’re running a black-tie gala dinner, a community fundraiser or a themed charity ball, we can tailor the casino experience to suit your goals and budget.
Memorable Experiences That Last
At the end of the day, what makes an event memorable isn’t just the venue or the catering—it’s the experience people have. A fun casino creates moments of laughter, excitement and connection that stick with people long after the night is over. It adds a touch of theatre, a sense of glamour and just the right amount of competitive spirit to keep everyone engaged.
For corporate clients, it’s a fantastic way to reward staff or impress clients in a relaxed, entertaining way. For private events like weddings and birthdays, it gives your celebration a unique twist that guests won’t be expecting. And for fundraisers, it strikes the perfect balance between fun and purpose.
